Wedgwood Historical Association

Wedgwood Historical Association WHA is NOT a neighborhood association or homeowners' association. A unique and wonderful aspect of Wedgwood is its diversity in ranch house styles.

Collecting information on the houses and history of Wedgwood, a neighborhood in southwest Fort Worth, and providing education on the historical value of Wedgwood homes. MISSION:

The Wedgwood Historical Association (WHA) is a nonprofit corporation with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status founded in March 2021 whose mission is to:

Promote awareness of and appreciation for the architecture and design of ho

uses in the Wedgwood neighborhood;

Encourage home maintenance, renovations and rehabilitation that respect the historic home’s original character and style; and

Collect and record information and documents of historical significance pertaining to Wedgwood and its development. For our purposes, the physical boundaries of Wedgwood are those of the neighborhood associations. There are some houses in Wedgwood East that are listed as being in the South Hills addition on property information but are generally referred to as being part of Wedgwood. INCLUSIVITY STATEMENT:
While the Wedgwood Historical Association wishes to celebrate the architecture and design of the houses of Wedgwood and to gather information and memories about the neighborhood’s history, we fully recognize that Wedgwood has not always been welcoming or accepting of non-white or non-Christian families. The “happier life” promised by the developers of Wedgwood in 1955 was not initially available to all residents of Fort Worth, and not everyone’s memories and experiences of this time will be pleasant. WHA hopes that our endeavors will acknowledge the similar diversity of the neighborhood’s current population and help to foster a community that truly welcomes and appreciates ALL of our residents.

WHA will be at each of these Neighborhood Dinner Nights at La Casa De Lina from about 6:30p to 7:30p with some basic materials and to answer questions you might have about what we're doing or on Wedgwood's history. The restaurant is located in Block 1, topic of our most recent walking tour. We love being included in neighborhood events!

J.T. Stevens Elementary School in Wedgwood has an interesting history! The first photograph shows the original architectural plans, which featured classrooms around a central library area. These plans were rejected because they went over-budget due to rising steel costs. The architects then proposed the plan with the arches, which was accepted. A legal battle ensued when FWISD did not want to pay the architects for two sets of plans.
